I’d have to agree. I don’t know the particulars of those digital channels, but I know the station couldn’t show the game in hi-def. Even with that, it seemed to be of poor quality, but it was better than missing the game.

Why is it that we can watch the Giants preseason games, but the Jets games on SNY get blacked out? Is it because the Giants hold training camp in the Capital Region? In this case, the Jets telecasts should be available in Cortland, and the Giants should be blacked out there.

This is like the NHL allowing every Rangers game to air on MSG (a dream for many of us), but blacking out all of the Devils and Islanders games on the MSG Networks.

@Sesentinueve, I think the issue is that SNY only has Jets broadcast rights in metro New York City. That means in order for fans to receive the Jets preseason games here, a local station would have to pick up the rights much like WNYT has picked up the Giants broadcast rights for the area. Unfortunately none of the lame stations in the area will pick up the Jets (I think CW did a couple years back) because all the quality programming (read with sarcasm) that would be preempted.
